A milestone anniversary is not just another night out. It is a celebration of years spent together, and we believe the planning process should feel just as thoughtful as the party itself. Couples and families often come to us at The Merion unsure of where to start, so we like to walk through it as a few simple conversations rather than one long checklist.
Planning a milestone anniversary at The Merion starts with a conversation with an event specialist about vision and guest count, followed by choosing from four ballrooms and building a custom menu with Executive Chef Robert Bahm’s culinary team. Couples can request a pricing guide or contact the venue directly to begin selecting a date and finalizing details.
Here is how planning a milestone anniversary with us typically comes together, from your first conversation through the night you finally get to celebrate.
Planning Your Milestone Anniversary at The Merion
We have spent more than 60 years helping South Jersey families mark their biggest milestones, and an anniversary celebration is one we take real pride in hosting. Here is what that planning process actually looks like when you work with us.
Start With a Conversation About Your Vision
Every celebration with us begins the same way, with a conversation. Our event specialists ask about the milestone you are celebrating, your guest list, and the feeling you want the evening to have. From that first conversation through your last toast, our team stays with you at every step, so you are never piecing the details together on your own.
Finding the Right Room for the Occasion
Once we understand your vision, we walk you through our four uniquely designed ballrooms, each complete with its own private amenities and features. Whether you are picturing an intimate dinner with close family or a larger gathering of friends, we help you find a room that fits the milestone you are celebrating, instead of asking you to make your celebration fit the room.
Building a Menu With Our Culinary Team
Food is a big part of any anniversary celebration, and our culinary team at The Merion is led by Executive Chef Robert Bahm, who customizes menus for events based on decades of experience across many different cuisines. You can talk through the dishes and flavors that matter most to you, and our chef builds your menu around that conversation rather than a fixed list.
Letting the Room Set the Mood
Part of what makes an anniversary celebration here feel different starts the moment you walk in. Our venue’s elaborate interior design, including an immense spiral staircase and opulent marble columns, sets a tone before the evening even begins. It is a small detail that goes a long way toward making a milestone celebration feel like a true occasion rather than just another dinner out.
Getting Your Pricing Guide and Locking In a Date
Once you have a sense of your guest count and the room you like, the next step is reaching out. You can fill out the form for our pricing guide or contact us directly at (856) 829-2111 to start talking through dates. From there, our event specialists take over the details so you can spend more time looking forward to the night itself.
